A practical match

More than a postcode directory.

A statutory Transport Manager must be able to exercise continuous and effective management. We gather the information needed to judge whether a proposed introduction could work in practice.

01

Licence

Standard National, Standard International, PSV, new application or an existing licence.

02

Location

Operating centre, realistic travel time and the onsite attendance the operation needs.

03

Capacity

Current commitments, vehicle numbers and the time the proposed role will require.

04

Experience

International work, compliance recovery, audit exposure, systems and operator profile.

How TM Match works

From enquiry to suitable introduction.

Tell us about the operation

Complete the short matching form with your location, fleet, licence and timescale.

We review the requirement

We assess the practical demands, urgency and the type of experience the role may need.

Potential TMs are approached

We identify suitable profiles and help the parties move towards due diligence and nomination.

Approval is a separate regulatory step.

The operator must apply to add the proposed Transport Manager to the operator licence. The relevant Traffic Commissioner decides whether the nomination is approved.

Urgent cases

Has your Transport Manager already left?

A Standard licence operator that loses professional competence should act promptly. A credible replacement plan, accurate notification and careful management of any Period of Grace are all important.

Record the change

Confirm the leaving date, current licence status, fleet in operation and immediate management arrangements.

Address the gap

Consider whether a Period of Grace request is needed and show how compliance will be protected.

Build the replacement plan

Find a realistic candidate early enough to allow due diligence, nomination and regulatory consideration.
